Shen Tuyi signed an agreement to lease the sea area with Chili on behalf of Qi State.
Although he took the initiative on his own initiative, Long Zhi would not have any objections based on the countless pearls.
Compared with the extremely low rent, the value of those pearls is five to six times as much.
Moreover, the people in the cities near the sea can go deeper into the sea to fish, which can be said to have only benefits and no disadvantages.
Logically speaking, it would be difficult for the other party to agree to this kind of lease treaty.
But it happened that the time, place and people were favorable, and Ying Yan also wanted to lease the sea area.
From this, the lease of the sea area was facilitated.
From this point of view, it seemed to be destined by heaven.
The big ship left Chili and did not return directly to Qi State, but went to the small island.
Now this sea area is for the use of Qi State, and a large number of Qi Navy troops have come and are currently stationed on several nearby islands.
This sea area rich in pearls is completely guarded by Shen Tuyi's people, and many pearls have been mined.
As long as the mother oysters are big, they should be thrown back into the sea to let them continue to grow, so that they can continue to grow.
In just a few days, nearly two hundred kilograms of pearls were mined.
Because professional pearl divers were invited, they were faster than the guards, and they also picked the beads well.
They classified the sizes and almost didn't use a ruler to measure them, they could just measure them visually.
A quick glance at the sorted beads shows that they are generally large and of the best quality.
Each of these beads can be sold for sixty taels of silver when returned to land.
Even if they are of poor quality, they can still be sold for seven or eight taels each.
They are priceless in the market.
After arriving at this small island, Shen Tuyi inspected everything and found that it was now on track and that there were trusted people guarding it.
He was very relieved.
There was a whole team stationed nearby, so it was indeed no big deal.
The only unpredictable event is the weather.
If there are violent storms and waves, construction will never be possible and people will not be allowed to go into the water.
"Send these walking beads to His Highness.
It also proves that our renting of this sea area on our own initiative is not a joke."
The high-quality walking beads are packed in exquisite wooden boxes, shiny and well-proportioned, and not a single one is Unqualified.
Ye Lu grabbed a handful, and the shiny beads leaked from the gaps between his fingers.
The sound they made when they collided with each other was very pleasant.
"Yeah."
Shen Tuyi didn't object.
"Oh, I am saving face for Mai Tang.
We have no power, but we have a pair of eyes to discover wealth."
Ye Lu smiled.
Mai Tang was different from her.
She was in that position and only had one Charm is not enough, support is also required.
She will try her best to support her and make it less difficult for her.
"It's already very respectable."
Shen Tuyi pursed her thin lips slightly.
In fact, she didn't need to think so much.
The support given by these cities in the southern country was enough.
"That being said, if you were in His Highness's position, you would never marry a good-for-nothing person.
That would make your life more difficult.
Therefore, the most despised marriage of interests is also the easiest and most direct way. , We powerless people have no position to look down upon.
"Now that I think about it, a marriage of interests is normal.

Talking about love and love is really a luxury.
"You lament too much.
Even if it is a marriage of interest, it is someone else's business and has nothing to do with you."
Shen Tuyi didn't like to hear it, and her sighs would not fall on them at all.
Narrowing his eyes, Ye Lu smiled, "You're right, no one can force Lord Shentu.
Besides, I'm afraid no one will dare to marry you."
Everyone knows that he is the lone star of the evil god, unless he is crazy and throws his daughter into the fire pit Li Tui, otherwise no one would marry him.
"It's good to know."
Indeed, no one dared to marry him.
"Hey, don't be angry.
I didn't mean to belittle you.
On the contrary, I came from my own feelings.
If no one dared to marry you, how could it be my turn?"
After all, she took advantage of it.
Got cheap.
Glancing at her lightly, Shen Tuyi's expression softened slightly, and her words pleased him.
Looking at him, Ye Lu couldn't help but chuckle.
He liked hearing good things so much, and wondered if one day he would not be able to hear bad things.
After stopping on the small island for a day, they set off and took the fine pearls they wanted to give to Long Zhi.
The ship slowly disappeared into the blue sea.
We are getting closer to Baicheng.
This big ship will approach the wharf of Baicheng, and then turn overland to return to the Four Cities of Shentu.
The Lord of Baicheng knew that Shen Tuyi and his party were back, so he rushed to the dock to greet them.
Shen Tuyi also prepared some pearls from the sea to give to the Lord of Baicheng as gifts.
In any case, the Lord of Baicheng also helped a lot this time.
Ye Lu, on the other hand, began to look for Old Man Xu after landing.
He said that he would come after they came back, but by this time they had already landed, and he was nowhere to be seen.
He must have left Chili, Ye Lu was very sure of this, but how would he come back?
The vast sea was not easy to navigate, and it would take a lot of effort for him to come back.
However, that old bastard Yuzuki will probably have to follow him back.
There is no place to hide on the sea, and he doesn't know what will happen.
After staying in Baicheng for a day, Shentu Yi sent someone to deliver the pearl to the imperial capital, while the rest of the team set off back to Shentu City.
The exquisite carriage moved forward leisurely on the official road.
The official road was flat, and no matter how it walked, the carriage did not bump.
It was so swaying that the people in the carriage also fell asleep.
Ye Lu leaned on Shen Tuyi's body, closed his eyes, and slept so darkly that black and white were reversed.
Shentu Yi hugged her with one arm and flipped through the letter sent by Mr.
Ji with the other hand.
At this time, Shentu City had already begun to prepare for the wedding.
Because the entire City Lord's Mansion needs to be renovated, it will take a lot of time.
Start preparing now, and it will take several months until everything is sorted out.
Even though this was the normal speed, Shen Tuyi still felt it was a bit slow, and he was still dissatisfied.
His eyebrows were slightly furrowed, making his face look stressed.
His face looked stressed.
The most indispensable thing in Shentu City is manpower.

If we can go back and arrange all the manpower, the speed will probably be faster.
As the carriage moved forward, Shen Tuyi slowly put aside the letter in his hand.
The person sleeping on his lap suddenly twitched, and then she sat up suddenly.
"What's wrong?"
Looking at her, Shen Tuyi raised his hand and touched her face, feeling warm as she slept.
"Stop the car."
Ye Lu shouted, and his voice spread far, and the moving carriage slowly stopped.
Shen Tuyi frowned and looked at her sullen face, not knowing what was going on.
Getting up, Ye Lu quickly walked out of the carriage and stood on the shaft.
He could see far away and saw the endless official road.
The official road in front was cut out of a mountain, and there were steep cliffs on both sides.
It was as if it had been split in half with a knife.
Behind him, Shen Tuyi also walked out of the carriage, "What's going on?"
"Don't go forward, there's something ahead."
Ye Lu whispered as he looked ahead without blinking.
Shen Tuyi immediately called Mr.
Ji over and told him to stop the team in front, and then sent someone to take a closer look.
Mr.
Ji immediately went to do it, but here Ye Lu was still standing on the shaft of the car, staring motionlessly ahead, as if his soul had been pulled out.
A guard carefully moved forward to check each one, step by step, walking farther and farther, gradually approaching the cliffs on both sides.
However, just as he was about to approach, the cliff on that side suddenly made a strange sound.
The next moment, the cliff suddenly broke in the center, and large rocks fell away from the cliff, hitting the official road with a loud noise.
Huge rocks followed one after another.
The guards exploring the path quickly retreated, and the team here also retreated and took precautions.
The cliff over there broke, and the rocks fell off, falling down with a rumble, blocking the official road in the blink of an eye.
Dust and smoke were everywhere, and it felt like the sky was falling and the earth was falling.
No one expected such a thing to happen, and they were all shocked for a moment.
Moreover, how could this cliff collapse for no reason?
The team was still retreating, and the smoke and dust from over there spread over.
The sky was clear and white, but here it was shrouded in smoke and dust.
Suddenly, Ye Lu on the car's shaft moved, "Stop."
After her words fell, the retreating carriage stopped immediately, and the people in front also turned to look over, wondering what happened again.
Ye Lu jumped off the shaft of the chariot, and Shen Tuyi immediately followed.
The guards in front also dismounted.
As we walked forward, smoke and dust flew over, making it extremely dirty.
Shen Tuyi grabbed Ye Lu's hand and stopped her from going inside.
Turning to look at him, Ye Lu frowned and said, "Shen Tuyi, there is someone there."
He pointed at the cliff.
Smoke and dust rose up, making it difficult to see what shape the cliff had collapsed into.
"Come, let's take a look."
He then ordered the guards to go over and check.
Shen Tuyi grabbed her hand and prohibited her from going any further.
The guard immediately jumped over to check.
Smoke and dust were flying.
The cliff broke in front and large rocks fell all over the ground, completely blocking the official road.

They passed by, not daring to get close for a while.
They avoided the falling stones and climbed up the cliff.
The rocks stopped falling from the cliff, and the smoke and dust seemed to slowly dissipate.
On the shattered and shapeless cliff, a man was hanging among the rocks.
Because the surrounding rocks had fallen, he hung there.
It was also precarious, as if it was about to fall.
Everyone was surprised when they saw that person.
Ye Lu's heart skipped a beat, Old Man Xu "Mr.
Xu" Shen Tuyi was also extremely surprised, why is old man Xu here?
After seeing the person clearly, the guard began to climb quickly, heading straight for Old Man Xu.
He seemed to be embedded in the cracks of the stone, his eyes were closed, and his body and face were covered in dust.
From such a distance, it was impossible to tell whether he was alive or dead.
With her feet moving, Ye Lu walked in that direction.
Shen Tuyi grabbed her hand and followed, focusing on the old man Xu.
The guards climbed up and carefully worked together to get Old Man Xu out of the crack in the stone.
After touching him, the guard immediately reported below, "He is still alive."
Heaving a sigh of relief, Ye Lu grabbed Shen Tuyi's hand and said, "Fortunately."
After glancing at Ye Lu, Shen Tuyi immediately let go of her hand, took a few steps forward, then jumped up, stepped on the gravel blocking the official road, and jumped up to catch the old man Xu who was sent down by the escort.
With great strength, Old Man Xu jumped down easily with one person.
Ye Lu immediately stepped forward and put Old Man Xu on the ground.
Ye Lu grabbed his hand and clasped his fingers on his veins.
Shen Tuyi grabbed his other hand and said, "It's okay, he's just unconscious."
"Old Man Xu" shook his hand, but he had no response.
"Send him to the carriage first and clear the stones on the road as soon as possible.
Jicheng is just ahead.
Go to the city to find a doctor to show Mr.
Xu a look."
Shen Tuyi frowned.
Old Xu had such a clever plan that he encountered such a thing.
Don't know what happened.
"Yeah."
Ye Lu nodded and stood up.
The guards came and carried Old Xu away, and then the rest began to clear the stones on the official road.
There was only one official road that could be taken here, and it was blocked by stones.
They couldn't get through at all, and they couldn't go around.
The rocks that fell off the cliff vary from big to small, but no matter how big or small, it will take a lot of time to remove them all.
Retreating to the roadside with Shen Tuyi, Ye Lu looked at the cliff.
He couldn't do it without using a lot of manpower to hide Old Man Xu inside.
But what is the purpose of hiding old man Xu here?
Is it because he knew they would pass by here, so he did it on purpose?
The more he thought about it, the more Ye Lu felt that something was wrong.
It must not be that simple.
Shen Tuyi stood beside her, looking at her the whole time.
"I figured it out."
Seeing the sadness on her face, he finally couldn't help but ask.

Look up at him Looking up at him, Ye Lu slowly shook his head, "There are problems, many problems.
However, after having an explanation, we will return to a dead end.
I am thinking that the only one who can deal with old man Xu is Yi Zhu.
But, He didn't kill him, but tried his best to hide him on the cliff next to the official road.
It's so strange. " "Perhaps they are here for us."
Shen Tuyi believed that there was no other explanation other than this.
"Yes, that's what I thought.
But, what will he use against me?"
In a blink of an eye, she looked at the cliff again.
On the official road, the guards were quickly clearing the rubble.
These two cliffs stand here like two swords.
Surrounded by rolling mountains, it can be said that there is no village in front or back, and it is very desolate.
Moving his eyes away from the cliff, Ye Lu looked at the surrounding mountains again, looking around carefully, inch by inch, drawing arcs in the air with his fingers, drawing the shapes of these mountains.
After turning around in a circle, Ye Lu's eyes trembled, and then he looked up at the sky.
It was almost evening, and the sun was about to set.
There were white clouds, sunset glow, and a small patch of black clouds in the sky.
The black cloud was above their heads at this moment, a small piece that perfectly covered the small piece of sky above.
"Quick, let's go, get out of here quickly."
Ye Lu panicked as he grabbed Shen Tuyi's hand.
Shen Tuyi's face was stern, and he immediately obeyed Ye Lu's order to retreat.
The guards who were moving the rubble over there quickly retreated, but at this moment, the black clouds above their heads exploded with lightning, and thunder jumped out of the black clouds, heading straight towards the cliff to bombard them.
In just a moment, the cliff was the first to bear the brunt of the thunder and was blown apart by the thunder.
The gravel was scattered everywhere, and the horses on the official road were so frightened that they jumped up high and neighed.
Shen Tuyi hugged Ye Lu and backed away quickly, but it was still not as fast as the thunder.
The deafening thunder fell, and he felt that his ears were damaged by the thunder at that moment, and his brain was roaring.
The gravel splashed, as if it were raining, and it shot out far away.
Shen Tuyi protected Ye Lu, and the gravel hit his back, and Ye Lu heard the sound.
The thunder slowly came to an end, but more incredible things happened one after another.
Flying rocks sprayed, the ground suddenly trembled, and the horses on the official road began to run away in all directions, making unpleasant neighing sounds.
All the birds in the surrounding forest were frightened and flew up.
Suddenly, within a radius of two or three miles, the birds fled in panic, the earth trembled, the mountains and forests shook, as if the sky was falling.
Everyone evacuated quickly, abandoning their carriages and horses, and fled along the cracked official road.
No one expected that such a thing would happen.
During the earthquake, although Ye Lu had been led by Shen Tuyi, he could still feel the earth shaking.
Yizhu, Yizhu actually caused an earthquake by relying on thunder from the sky.
He was really not afraid of retribution.
He did it so brilliantly.
The big trees on the roadside were twisted and twisted, and the flat official roads were trembling and cracking, as if a giant beast had opened its mouth and wanted to suck everything outside into its belly.
Shen Tuyi and Ye Lu ran away like crazy.
A towering tree fell down from the forest in front of him.
He held Ye Lu in his arms and jumped up.
Although he jumped very high, the giant tree was so big that there were still a few branches blocking their way.
His legs were caught by a branch, and Shen Tuyi turned over several times.
Ye Lu, who was held in his arms, also turned over, spinning around.
After several turns, he landed smoothly.

Shen Tuyi glanced at Ye Lu in his arms, but her face turned pale.
"What's wrong?"
He continued to run forward while holding her tightly.
"It's okay."
She said it was okay, but she closed her eyes tightly.
"Ye Lu" lowered his head and saw that she had closed her eyes, and Shen Tuyi was immediately shocked.
"It's okay, let's go quickly."
The person in his arms replied, but he didn't have the strength to open his eyes again.
After running away like crazy, the tremors of the earth seemed to be much weaker.
The official road ahead was intact and not cracked.
Shen Tuyi's speed also slowed down.
Finally stopping, he picked up the person in his arms and touched her face with his other hand, "What's wrong with you?"
Leaning in his arms, Ye Lu slowly raised her hand to touch the back of her head, and then stretched out her hand.
There was blood in her palm.
Shocked, Shen Tuyi put her forehead against his chest, and then looked at the back of her head.
Her hair was sticky and covered in blood.
"How could this happen?"
He kept holding her, making sure that she did not leave his arms along the way.
"A stone hit my head.
I didn't feel anything at first, but it just turned upside down and it stopped working."
The pain hit her, and she felt dizzy and wanted to vomit.
Shen Tuyi recalled that when the thunder came down, the cliff exploded and rocks flew everywhere, and he was hit in many places on his body.
He protected her like that, but she didn't expect to be beaten anyway.
Pulling out the silk silk, Shen Tuyi pressed it against the back of her head, "Don't move, let's go back to Star City."
Without the strength to answer, Ye Lu leaned in his arms, the roaring in her head bombarding her ears.
In the end, I couldn't bear it anymore and fell completely into darkness
